With
loving greetings from all souls at this station, this is Matthew. We
have been asked if the Illuminati have any role in the fighting going on
in Ukraine and what ISIS is doing. Yes, major roles in both, but since
they are “behind the scene,” so to say, they aren’t historically or
currently attributed to the Illuminati. The unrest in Ukraine stems from
wars they initiated long ago to form new national borders without any
regard for the differing cultures and history of the affected peoples,
and ISIS’ goal of creating an Islamic State has its emotional roots in
wars started in Afghanistan and Iraq by Illuminati within the United
States government.

Now Russian President Vladimir Putin, US President
Barack Obama, and some national leaders in the Mideast and Europe are
trying to quell inflammatory situations instigated by
Illuminati-controlled CIA agents who created incidents to incite the
citizenry, carried out by Illuminati-“owned” mercenaries and unwitting
troops, and funded by the Illuminati’s illegally-acquired massive
resources.

Please keep foremost in your thoughts that turbulence is
running out its various energetic courses and the increasing energy
momentum of positive change is moving your society ever closer to a
peaceful, harmonious world. It is helpful to remember, too, that you
lightworkers and members of our universal family—the vanguard of
progress—are aided by vast numbers of your populace.

All except a
comparative handful of individuals are loving, compassionate, honest
people who endeavor to make life better for their families and
communities or they go to countries to help the many who are in dire
straits or they support efforts to protect your environment and
wildlife. Simply by living from their hearts, these millions upon
millions of souls are adding immeasurably to the light that ultimately
will prevail throughout your entire civilization.

Our mentioning
Nirvana’s “fourth density residential area” elicited a number of
responses. We thank the reader whose questions are cited, and our reply
also will address comments and questions from others who wrote.

“Matthew
said, ‘Persons who advance from third to fourth density spiritually and
consciously during Earth lifetime enter Nirvana’s fourth density
residential areas.’ He also said residents there range from second to
fifth density or higher. How do the areas where they live differ from
fourth? Who decides where people live? Are family members reunited in
the area where the first one who went there is? Are people restricted to
their area or can they move from one to another? What kind of living
accommodations do residents have? What do people do while they’re there
and how long do they stay? I’d like to know more about what to expect
when I get there!”

First, as a reminder, we number densities, whether
mass or location or soul evolvement status, ONLY to indicate
advancement. Densities aren’t compartmentalized and there are no sign
posts indicating where one density stops location-wise and another
begins, and the same is true of soul evolvement. In both there are many
gradations, which you could think of as shades on a color chart that
move from the faintest tinge all the way up the spectrum to the color’s
full intensity. Applying that to residency in Nirvana, persons who are
the least evolved spiritually and consciously live in “tinge” and
persons who are more evolved live in the shades that correspond to their
status.

Now then, at the end of physical lifetime, all of Earth’s
peoples go to that multidimensional spirit world, thus it encompasses
religions’ concepts of both heaven and hell. Nirvana comprises numerous
meandering, energetically-connected, flexible “layers,” which can be
considered heaven, and a tiny dense orb that is separate from the layers
can be considered hell. Both are about the same distance from Earth as
your moon. The layers are what you call “discarnate,” and even though
they do have mass, their high vibrations make them invisible to your
telescopes and the orb is too small to be noticeable.

First we shall
speak about the layers and their gradations, all of which are at varying
vibratory rates, and who goes where is determined by the laws of
physics that govern this universe. The energy of every person’s
thoughts, motives and deeds throughout the lifetime is registered in the
infallible Akashic records, and when the dense body dies, the etheric
body automatically is drawn to the part of Nirvana that corresponds to
the energy in the person’s records.

We remind you as well that the
soul is freed, or liberated, from the etheric body—it is the personage
and its lifetime experiences, which form the psyche, who goes to
Nirvana. So it is possible, even likely, that members of an Earth family
will enter different parts, but all who go to the layers may visit each
other. As members in lower layers or layer gradations grow in spiritual
and conscious awareness, they advance accordingly in residency.

Nirvana
is in the timeless continuum, so you’ll be seeing not only family and
friends from this lifetime who are there, but also dear ones from other
lifetimes, and you may prefer to spend time with them. Always the
stronger love bonds between individuals prevail and everyone honors
this; the same applies to persons who remarried after their spouses died
and all are in Nirvana.

Now we shall speak about who lives where.
Occupants of the topmost layer are the most highly evolved: the
100-member council that oversees Nirvana’s administrative aspects,
resident and visiting masters in specialty fields, and universal family
members who wish to stay a while after completing their volunteer
service on Earth. Down a notch are the principals in charge of
transition, customized healing and settling-in assistance; childcare;
education; employment; transportation; architecture and construction;
entertainment; Earth monitoring; libraries and the fine arts. Then come
the myriad employees in those and other fields who live in layer
gradations commensurate with their extent of responsibility and progress
in service, spiritual and conscious growth, and personal interests.

Although
education at every level and training in all fields are available to
everyone, skills and talents of other personage lifetimes are
remembered, so residents have a wealth of knowledge and experience to
choose from. Always employment is a matter of choice, and individuals
who desire to work may change from one field to another whenever they
wish.

Babies and young children enter fourth density. If close family
members are living there or in higher layers, the children join them;
if not, they are lovingly nurtured by specially-trained caretakers and
schooled appropriately for age and soul growth status at the time they
arrived.

Animals also enter fourth density. Those whom you call
predators were herbivores before darkness made them carnivorous long
ages ago, and that aspect of their nature is erased from cellular
patterning during the passage from Earth to Nirvana. Pets and their
human families are reunited by the energy streamers of shared love
bonds. If pets arrive first, they roam with other animals until a family
member enters any of the layers. Henceforth they may live together if
that is what is desired—all animals are self-sufficient and there is no
pet ownership as you know it.

Third density is home to people who
refuse to listen to universal truths that differ from their beliefs and
to people whose characteristics such as bigotry, greed, anger,
dishonesty, jealousy, arrogance, egotism or disloyalty led them astray
from their chosen karmic lessons. All of those individuals need time and
assistance to become open to enlightenment and gain spiritual and
psychic strength. As they respond, they move to a higher gradation,
where advanced learning and a wider range of employment, activities and
growth opportunities are available, and so on up the ladder.

Please
don’t think that life in Nirvana is all work, work, work or learn, learn
learn! Just as on Earth, most residents want the self-satisfaction that
comes with being productive and creative and adding to their knowledge;
and because they also enjoy leisure time, a wide range of age-related
activities and entertainment are available. All team and individual
sports except those that destroy or injure life are popular; so are
attending or participating in films, theater and concerts; and “story
hour” is enjoyed by all ages. There are travels throughout the realm,
lectures by visiting “professors,” grand fiestas and small social
get-togethers, splendid museums and art galleries, and hobbies of
interest.

Buildings of all sizes and designs are erected by focused
thought and visualization, and although residences are in accordance
with evolvement status, everyone has a choice of house or apartment in a
city or living in a rural environment. It is noteworthy that the most
highly evolved souls choose humble dwellings and people who choose
mansions later feel uncomfortable with such opulence—they have those
homes dematerialized and replaced with more modest styles.

Now we
shall speak about second density, the tiny dense orb that can be
considered the hell of religions. The individuals drawn there are those
who consistently ignored conscience and pre-birth agreements and they
willfully caused great suffering to persons whose soul contracts did not
include those experiences. Because light is anathema to these
individuals, only a pinpoint is directed into their dark world; as they
overcome their fear of the pinpoint, a bit more light is beamed to them.
It may take hundreds or even thousands of your years before they choose
to absorb enough light to embody at the lowest consciousness level in a
third density civilization, a life comparable to Earth’s slugs and
minute, short-lived insects. This act of divine grace wipes clean the
cellular and psychic patterning of devastating behavior choices.

Although
Nirvana primarily is the temporary home of people who transition from
Earth, residents in the higher layers vary considerably. Mother, my
description of the population answers other questions sent to you, and I
think it will be of interest all readers, so please insert that.

[Excerpt
from “Residents” chapter of Matthew, Tell Me about Heaven; Matthew
transmitted this information in 1994, when he still lived in Nirvana.]

Matthew, how many souls live in Nirvana?

Between
10 and 12 billion. We come and go continuously, so the population
fluctuates. You’re having a hard time with that number, Mother. Why?

It seems like a lot of souls between Earth lifetimes.

I
need to clarify our population, which is considerably more varied than
I’ve explained. This realm is primarily for people transitioning from
Earth lifetimes, who could be called “regular” residents, but many
others live here, too, and I’ll tell you about all of them.

Although
most of our regular residents are preparing for their next lifetime on
Earth, depending upon the stage of their soul growth, some are preparing
for incarnate or discarnate life elsewhere, even outside our galaxy, or
they may choose to experience as free spirits. Probably 20 years is
average for a “long-timer,” but I’m not really comfortable giving that
figure because many variables influence the length of residency. Some
souls feel great sensitivity in all aspects, an ability acquired only in
higher density vibrations, and they don’t stay very long. Some are so
highly evolved that they practically whisk through to their next growth
placement.

Others of this spiritual evolvement status may choose to
remain here quite a while. They have earned this as a reward for honored
service, and they stay for a long time by your calculations. Some of
these souls are very high in our hierarchy. Other long-timers are here
for intensive healing from a number of difficult lifetimes. They stay in
an environment of tranquility as long as they need to recuperate before
choosing their next level of spiritual growth experiencing. All those
souls constitute what I referred to as our “regular” population.

Another large part is transient. Some are free spirits, who come and go as their growth needs require.

Matthew,
excuse me, please. Remember, here free spirits are folks who seem to go
blithely through life doing their own thing out of the “mainstream.” Is
it the same there?

Oh, no, Mother. Free spirit can mean only that no
body, not even the etheric body, is necessary for residence of the
soul. But in a larger sense it refers to the mental attitude or psychic
approach to communion with God and the knowledgeable accomplishing of
the pre-birth chosen mission. Either or both of these conditions
constitute a free spirit lifetime. It’s a different sort of learning
process and is as necessary as any other lesson due to karmic cause and
effect.

I see. Thank you.

You’re welcome! Now then, others of our
transients are teachers in specialty fields or students who come for
selected education, and they leave when they have accomplished their
purpose. Visitors come from other discarnate realms to further their
spiritual growth and stay as long as their specific interests last. And
there are many short-term vacationers, some from supra-human
civilizations. Nirvana is much more beautiful than many other discarnate
realms and, just like resorts on Earth, it attracts “tourists.”

There
is still another kind of resident here, souls who have taken on new
bodies on Earth, but they reside here as well as there. Mother, this
isn’t “weird” at all, and there is good reason for these “dual” lives.
When one is motivated toward studies, learning can be achieved far more
rapidly here than on Earth. We have almost limitless superb resources
and master teachers, and the entire environment is conducive to
spiritual growth. What better place to gain knowledge and spiritual
enlightenment with which to endow the new personage?

Thank you,
Mother. We have given an enlightening glimpse of life in Nirvana, but no
message can cover all facets of that world, like the personal reception
of all arrivals and how they are affected by the thoughts and feelings
of their loved ones on Earth; the customized care given to all who
arrive with traumatized psyches; the diverse environment in that spirit
world; its republic form of governance; aging and de-aging; or the range
of residents’ manifesting capabilities. Although our messages never
have been a platform for recommending the Matthew books, we make this
one exception: Matthew, Tell Me about Heaven offers comfort to people
grieving the loss of a loved one and is an inspirational guideline for
living.

Light beings throughout this universe are cheering you ever onward and embracing you with unconditional love.
